Complete loss of teeth due to periodontal diseases, class II

This code signifies the total absence of natural teeth in a patient, where the primary etiology is advanced periodontal disease. It specifically denotes a Class II severity, indicating a moderate level of destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth that ultimately led to their complete loss.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states complete edentulism resulting from periodontal disease, and the severity is explicitly classified as Class II. This is typically used for patients presenting with a history of severe gum disease leading to tooth extraction or exfoliation of all teeth.

• Ensure documentation specifies "complete loss of teeth" and links it directly to periodontal disease as the cause.
• Verify the "Class II" designation; other classifications (e.g., Class I, Class III) would require different codes.
• Do not use for edentulism due to caries, trauma, or congenital absence of teeth.
